Chapter 440: Why does it feel like palace intrigue?

Chu Yufei was completely stunned.

The beautiful woman in front of her actually claimed to be Mr. Lin’s wife?

When did Mr. Lin have a wife, and why didn’t she know about it?

Wei Qingxue said this because she saw Lin Fan and Chu Yufei standing together, looking somewhat intimate, and she felt an inexplicable twinge of jealousy.

Although technically she wasn’t Lin Fan’s wife at the moment, she still needed to assert herself and protect her territory.

"Mr. Lin, is she your wife?" Chu Yufei asked.

Lin Fan broke into a sweat. He truly hadn’t expected them to meet, and this situation was really quite troublesome. Keeping it from both sides was proving difficult, and if he lied, one party would eventually become suspicious.

So he could only tell the truth: "Well, to be precise, she’s my ex-wife."

Upon hearing this, Wei Qingxue’s face turned red, but Lin Fan was stating a fact, and there wasn’t much she could say.

Chu Yufei was stunned — she couldn’t believe that Mr. Lin had been married. But thinking about it, it might not be too improbable. In fact, she didn’t know much about Mr. Lin; his background might not be easy for most people to comprehend.

Chu Yufei, who had a naturally gracious personality, quickly composed herself and reached out her hand to Wei Qingxue: "Hello, Miss Wei, I’m Chu Yufei."

Wei Qingxue shook hands with Chu Yufei: "Hello, Miss Chu and Lin Fan are..."

Chu Yufei said: "I am..."

Lin Fan hurriedly interjected: "Rain Princess and I are friends. It was raining outside just now, so I came in to take shelter and coincidentally met Rain Princess here. We chatted for a bit. Rain Princess, we should get going now, let’s keep in touch."

If Chu Yufei revealed that she worked at his charity, his identity would be exposed.

To Wei Qingxue, he was just a deliveryman.

Chu Yufei laughed: "Alright, goodbye Mr. Lin, goodbye Miss Wei."

"Goodbye."

Wei Qingxue also politely said, and then she left the café with Lin Fan.

Watching their backs, Chu Yufei felt somewhat unreal; she still found it hard to believe that Mr. Lin had been married.

"His ex-wife seems to still love him..."

Chu Yufei murmured, feeling inexplicably melancholic.

Wei Qingxue and Lin Fan exited the café and started strolling through the mall.

Lin Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief — at least the two women were separated. In truth, even if his identity were exposed, it wouldn’t matter, but he didn’t want Wei Qingxue to know yet that he was the richest man in Yun City.

The real reason why he continued to agree to go out with Wei Qingxue after their divorce was because he had an unresolved issue on his mind.

He still hadn’t figured out what the system’s task related to Wei Qingxue was all about.

He believed the system definitely had its reasons, but it wasn’t clear yet, so he would continue to stay in touch with Wei Qingxue until he figured out the system’s intentions.

"Lin Fan, are you very familiar with that Miss Chu?" Wei Qingxue asked, still a bit concerned about Chu Yufei, who was exceedingly beautiful. It’s curious how Lin Fan, a deliveryman, could know such a pretty girl.

Lin Fan smiled: "Just ordinary friends. I used to frequently deliver packages to her, so I know her."

It’s easy to tell a little lie.

Wei Qingxue responded with an "Oh" and said: "She’s so beautiful, did you never think about pursuing her?"

This was a loaded question.

Lin Fan quickly said: "I’ve never had that thought."

Wei Qingxue continued: "Really? But I think Miss Chu seems to have feelings for you. You can tell from her eyes when she looks at you."

Lin Fan wiped his cold sweat: "No way, you might be mistaken."

Chu Yufei having feelings for him? Lin Fan actually hadn’t noticed. He hadn’t known Chu Yufei for long and hadn’t met her many times. Why would she think this? Was his charm really that great?

Wei Qingxue glanced at him, seeing his embarrassed look, she couldn’t help but chuckle: "I’m just teasing you!"

"Alright." Lin Fan was a bit speechless.

Wei Qingxue said with a bit of pride: "But even if she really likes you, knowing that I’m your ex-wife should make her rethink."

Lin Fan chuckled bitterly: "Why do I feel like this is a palace drama?"

He felt like the emperor in a palace drama, with the concubines vying for his favor, definitely had that vibe.

Wei Qingxue said: "It’s because I like you. Before I win you over, I naturally can’t let other women entice you away. Lin Fan, you have to know that you are my man, and I will defeat all rivals to win you over!"

Her expression was firm, somewhat naively stubborn.

Lin Fan saw this side of her for the first time. In his past impression, Wei Qingxue was a bit of an ice-cold beauty. Now, she appeared a bit cute to him.

"Are you so confident that you can certainly win me over?" Lin Fan laughed.

Wei Qingxue said: "Of course, I will do my utmost best to make you fall in love with me."

Lin Fan said: "Alright... Do they all know about our divorce?"

Wei Qingxue said: "Yes, they all know."

Lin Fan laughed: "They don’t like me; knowing about our divorce should make them quite happy."

Wei Qingxue said: "I thought that too, but it turns out not to be the case. Because you’ve so successfully sold off Mingshi Century and Jinyan Square Block A, they’ve completely changed their view of you. Grandfather scolded me to bits, questioning why I divorced you. When he learned that you’ve resigned, he further scolded me for being clueless. It seems Grandfather really cherishes you as his top seller."

Honestly, you can’t blame Elder Wei. Anyone encountering a sales talent like Lin Fan would smile even in their sleep. Learning that such a talent left, they can’t help but feel regret.

Wei Qingxue said: "Lin Fan, the performance you’ve achieved today, with the complete sell-out of Jinyan Square Block A, has earned you a top position on the sales leaderboard this month. You’ve left everyone far behind; others are desperately trying to catch up, but they’re afraid they won’t even see your taillights."

Lin Fan found it amusing in his heart. Actually, he should really leave the Wei Family Company. The way he’s selling properties, the small Wei Family might soon run out of houses to sell.

Wei Qingxue continued: "Also, Mom almost fainted when she learned of our divorce — this is what she said herself. She was crying while asking why I divorced you. She bought a lot of groceries today, wanting to cook sweet and sour ribs for you herself."

Lin Fan smiled coldly to himself. Whether it was Elder Wei or Li Xueyan, the change in their attitude towards him was all about money.

Especially Li Xueyan, who was drooling over his 1 million commission; she would probably salivate. With her dream falling away, how could she not be agitated?

Wei Qingxue sighed: "Let’s not talk about them, let’s rather talk about what we’re going to do next."

Lin Fan replied: "Hmm, what do you want to do?"
